Last week, one of my friend invited me for a Multi-level marketing (MLM) presentation. This is my 5th visit to this kind of MLM opportunity talk.

Personally, I used some of their good products, however, I have never really a hard-core MLM to a point that I would promote the business setup and start recruiting others to join.

I have neither objections nor strong support of MLM.

However, I would like to share my thought on multi-level marketing (MLM), also known as network marketing.

If you say to someone that you’re in MLM, you’ll get one of two reactions: They either love MLM themselves and buy into the business model, or they hate it. Those who love it see the potential upside. Those who hate it have either been burned in the past or are sick of friends hounding them with a “new business opportunity.”

The main reason is that, although MLM companies do offer a variety of products (usually good products at reasonable prices and sometimes higher price compare to major hypermarkets), many MLM marketers see the possibility of making more money with their "downstream" (the people they sign up who will sell products and share a cut of the profits) than with actually selling products. And, for the most part, many MLM companies spend more time encouraging their new recruits to build the downstream rather than sell products. I would said 90% of the time, they will start with recruiting member then only tell you about their products.

I know people who have not been successful with MLM. And, I know people who earn a living (not "get rich quick" but actually earn a living) with MLM. Frankly, the ones who were not successful tried to do it as a sideline to their regular job and spent more time trying to find additional recruits. The ones who earned a living – who were successful – did so by not placing such a priority on the downstream and rather spent their energy and focus on selling products.

And if that’s the case – if the successful ones are the ones who are selling the products, not building a downstream – then they are simply independent sales people with a catalogue of products. But success with that method requires some sweat.

The Actual Fact

The failure rate is extremely high, something like 99.8%.

The ease of start-up can cause people to get into several MLM companies causing a lack of focus and makes the person far more likely to fail.

Hard to distinguish a legitimate company or opportunity from a scam. Read up this guide to identify MLM SCAM.

High chances to lose your friends and family. They may not at all understand what you are trying to accomplish. Hopefully, you will get very helpful support from others, but realize that they may not support you at all, no matter how dedicated you are!

A lot of promises and inaccurate “get-rich quick” claims. When success doesn’t come quickly, a person may be more likely to quit and join another MLM opportunity.

Yes.Very true indeed.But in the end,if you dont work,there will be no income.Same thing applies to any job out there.Its just that the MLM application is different compared to others.MLM gives you the opportunity to make it big while your boss does not make you rich.My friend once said,you work 9 hours a day for many years and get promoted to CEO.Now you as CEO work 14 hours a day.Think about it…

The most important part of MLM is this: Do the products move? If they, and the payplan works, then the MLM business has a chance of working.

I feel the right MLM company will have a good backing, so people can trust what they are going into. There’s far too many ‘pie in the sky’ Network Marketing companies nowadays who I wouldn’t even bat an eye lid too.

Also understand that my business plan is to
give you my turnkey marketing system to get you to
20k within your first month - less than 4 weeks!

That’s my goal - to get you up and running fast.
And once I get you there (to 20k a month) I
will show you how to take that money, invest some
of it, after 1-2 years with your income being
what it is on top of all your investments, I
want you to be able to retire.

It’s not so much that feeling of never having to
work again that attracts people to retirement…

It’s another feeling that retirement gives…

That feeling that you and your family are now
taken care of. You will NEVER have to worry about
money for the rest of your life.

I have seen what the stress of not having enough
money can do to people. It’s crazy being in
this industry and talking to so many people. I
have just about seen it all - the money problems
and the emotional stress people go through that
comes from not having enough money.

Selling is you did not use the product but sell to others, therefore you do not know whether can solve others problem.

Now, have a word call “Sharing” is you had use the product and feel very good at it and you understand the product knowledge, you have great willing to share with others. Therefore you are marketing using your mouth.

As the word multi-level-marketing is one of the marketing method not selling method.

Sure guys,
MLM is not mainly about recruitment it’s about sales and that what complete the residual cycle of it. What happens in any particular month if there is no new recruitment will you make money? Look for the best mlm company, it’s the company that has products that sells itself, people would love and ask for more, company with better complan that rewards everyone no matter if your downline passes you in rank, and mainly the group behind the company. Ok get connected to me and l will get you more facts and how to

Of course Asiaparttime.com can find you extra income. But if you were saying ‘proper’ income, I got offended by it. Are you trying to say that MLM is an improper way to earn extra income? Huge NO!

It (A good MLM company) gives you or anyone an opportunity to be your own boss and to create your new future if you are willing to change your mindset and willing to sacrifice an amount of time/effort in order to achieve it.

I strongly agree with others. The most important decision you have to make before you join any MLM companies is the ‘best’ company in the market. Do some survey before making any final decision. And once you have found one, go full force without hesitation and soon enough, you will get there in no time.

What I can say is that, it’s all worth it at the end of the day. I’ve been there and done that! How about you? Are you still working day in and day out? If yes, that’s the choice that you’ve made. But again, everyone deserves a second chance. Are we dare to make the change?

i would say that in MLM, you work for urself..if u r hardworking, then u get more income..passive incomes..if u join & do nothing, of course you are not gaining anything..

rem..the effort you put in MLM is all yours..unlike in the company, even if you do more working hours, the returns are not as good..

who says MLM is bad? I believe MLM is better than any other companies out there..dont believe me? ok, who earns the most in a company? the owner, followed by the ceo, senior managers, managers, executives, etc right? the income become less & less when u go lower..& guess who is doing the most job?

MLM gives you the right to earn whatever effort u put in..failure & success in MLM depends on u..

me, in a e-learning MLM, which will be booming up very soon considering this is the 1st in Malaysia on education and we are the pioneers now..Already expanding to Indonesia & India. soon to other countries as well..

so, this is the right time if anyone want to consider MLM under the e-learning..email me for further details at renaga2324@yahoo.com

Asiaparttime.com,
You should not post this kind of review article. There are lot of mlm members out there. You can see what happen? You being shot by visitors. Think carefully before you posting next time. Though i’m not a part of mlm, but i do agree with what they said. MLM is not an improper way to make money. You won’t make any money form the mlm business if you have the feel which is uncomfortable to you. If you don’t work, wherever you go, you can’t make any money.

The writer of this article is bias. Only to promote the biz he endorses at the expenses of MLM biz. Clearly, the writer does not understand MLM biz concept. This kind of article are the kind that tarnish other biz concept, in this case MLM. To other reader, ask those who really know MLM. Dont ask those who are ignorant. Most people failed in certain biz but blame the biz now themselves.

Any MLM requires guidance and commitment. People fails because they give up too early and they do not focus on what they want to achieve. If you think like a $500 person, u will get that amount and when you think like a $100,000 person, u will earn that with your effort.

Mlm or network marketing is just a marketing concept, word of mouth marketing, as simple as that.. We do share something good with people but in mlm we are paid by sharing with people and help them to be successful..There are many successful people in mlm, but there are also many people fail in mlm.The successful people becomes more success simply because they follow the footsteps of those successful one and vice versa..
Mlm is a way to make urself rich instead of you work for your boss and make him rich. How much you want, you decide and take the correct action then you sure will get it..destiny is in your hand not your boss or whoever related to you.
Legal mlm companies are everywhere. But the right one is not easy to find..with Msc status, world pioneership, world class education, all the recognition n endorsement…only 1 on the earth….Creative Dreams international. Finf out more at http://www.creative dreams.net

wow…i am actually glad to find out that there are still plenty of good network marketers in malaysia. it’s about time that mlm industry flourish. this business model has been greatly abused by irresponsible ppl and making our life as network marketers tough. let’s be realistic that any business model (traditional and franchise) has failures and idiots cheating others.

MLM is the same as any business or any company. If you work 15 minutes a day, you will not get a large result.
If you work 10 hours a day (with systems and process), then you will get huge result. It takes time, but it is worth the while.

99% of the people in MLM do not “fail.” They just choose not to do the business. Just like in corporations: there are only several people in any company that reach CEO and President level….
